We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding “my god he is sick” to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a “60 Minutes” interview showing Hegseth speaking.

I will never believe we're cooked. But I do think that a lot of leftists who consume a ton of social media need to ask how and why they end up repeating lightly laundered far-right discourse.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures

Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day

$900 million a day

Why is research led by women retracted less frequently? - LSE Impact A recent study found research by women had fewer retractions. Are women betters researchers, or does the finding reflect wider structural issues?

‘A recent study found research papers with women as first authors had fewer retractions than those with men as first authors. Curt Rice argues these findings indicate more troubling patterns of power and attention in academic publishing.’

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

The Cult of Physical Superiority Why the new masculinity movement is setting kids up for lifelong damage

A generation is being taught their worth is measured in jawlines and dominance.
That isn’t confidence — it’s hierarchy culture.
And history shows where that leads.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s “Board of Peace” Just Became a Criminal Enterprise Either the international organization Trump just launched and put himself atop is illegal under federal criminal law, or Trump isn’t planning to honor the result of the 2028 election if Democrats win.

(📢) PROOF UNLOCKED: To "celebrate" the first meeting of the so-called Board of Peace—which is nothing more than an organized crime syndicate—I've unlocked this Proof exclusive. You won't believe what an unprecedented hoax this new Trump fiefdom is.

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.

(🚨) This is just the beginning. But it is one hell of a beginning. You will never see the Epstein Scandal the same way again.

And Part II is on the way.

Concerns over autocracy in the U.S. continue to grow Is America still a democracy? Scholars tell NPR that after the last year under President Trump, the country has slid closer to autocracy or may already be there.

"Under competitive authoritarianism, countries still hold elections, but the ruling party uses various tactics — attacking the press, disenfranchising voters, weaponizing the justice system and threatening critics — to tilt the electoral playing field in its favor."
